Peddle Plus: An Ecosystem for Small & Medium Retailers & Mobile Internet users
V.Sriram Iyer, Principal Consultant
We have not yet entered a virtual age so drastic for brick and mortar retail stores to become obsolete.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, it has become an absolute prerogative for a brick and mortar retail store owner to have an online presence.
There exists a disconnection between small and medium retailers of India and India's growing online consumers/smart phone users.
To attain maximum efficiency, it is necessary that the stakeholder carefully evaluates the offline-online relationship and get help to bring out the best of both worlds. Having built the first ever retail technology system based on offline POS system, Delhi based Peddle Plus has been pioneering the Online to Offline(O2O) concept through connecting offline retail stores and warehouses to online and smart phone users of nearby locality.
The offline POS system called Peddle Plus supports a business irrespective of it being operated in a single point of sale or many points of sale across multiple locations. For retailers transacting from a single PC or via a network of retail terminals, Peddle Plus has a vast scope of scalability. It offers flexibility to handle both single and multiple sales channels across the entire retail organization. The platform also helps to improve sales processes, operational efficiencies, reporting accuracy and internal communications, identifying opportunities for cost reduction. With Efficient data entry and specially designed reports with online filters,
Peddle Plus is organized to carry the entire IT responsibilities of a retailer.
